I grew up working in our family based travel agency. After several exciting years working as a travel counselor, I graduated from university with a master’s degree in Business Administration with major in International Tourism.
Writing has always been a hobby of mine that I love, and after graduating I decided to spend more time enjoying my favourite free time activity. And there is nothing better if you can earn money off your hobby.
Currently, along with working in a family-owned business environment, I am a freelance writer for an online portal called Holiday Rental Web.
